Why train your workforce?

The cost of mental health problems at work

Untreated mental health conditions cost the economy $11 billion every year – this is even greater when staff turnover, incident claims, insurance payments and the effect upon other employees are considered.

There is a significant return on investment for improving employee wellbeing and mental health, with every dollar invested returning $2.30 in benefit. This is a big bottom-line impact. There are also additional intangible benefits, such as increased engagement and staff retention, strengthening the business case to invest in employees’ mental health.
